Laughing in the jury box is looked down upon.

I will give more details on this later, but in the meantime, take my word on this one. I had to bite my lip SO hard to keep from doing it again.... Wow.

Monday, hopefully, is the end of the trial. I'm not sure, but we'll be getting our instructions Monday, so hopefully that means we're close to the end.

Today I woke up early to do the Basic Workout Plus (15 minutes) and Stepping Away the Inches (SATI). I've never done SATI before, so I chose to watch the instructional--which was 30 minutes long. Needless to say, I didn't have enough time to watch the 30-minute instructional and then do the 30-minute workout, so I'll try it again later. I'm feeling burned out right now, so maybe I'll take the weekend off and start again on Monday or Tuesday. My legs are tired and I'm wondering if they're just overworked right now. The good news is that it's a bad time of the month for me to be measuring (if you get my not-so-subtle hint!), but I did measure yesterday. The best I can figure is that I'm down 2-1/4" from when I measured on Feb. 18..... which works out to, I believe, 10-3/4" down from 1/27/05. This includes a 3-1/4" loss from my waist, a 1" loss from my abdomen (over the hip bones), and a 1-1/4" loss from my hips (a.k.a. butt). I can live with that!

I'm real cranky tonight, and mostly because Billy is being stubborn and driving to Drayton Plains for Pizza Express when God is clearly telling him not to. He tried to go down White Lake Rd., and a semi was overturned into the cornfield. He tried to go Brendel, and a gravel hauler lost its trailer. He is now trying Ormond to Andersonville, though I've told him that it's not worth getting killed for. As he is talking to me on the cell phone, people are spinning out into ditches. Nice. I say GAH!!!! to the stubborn men!!!

I am happy, though, because my boss called to tell me that I don't have any typing this weekend. This makes my entire weekend!
